Thanks to all of you. I understand now

Mine is level 10, but the pirate is still asking for 5 gold bars. I have seven gold bars and need 11 to get to the next level, so I'm not giving them to the pirate for another gold gem which I don't really need (so far my two trades have both resulted in getting gold gems!)Delphine wrote:It seems to be a fraction of my total number of the ressource. The more ressources you have, the more percentage they ask for. For instance, my earth monument is level 28 and if the pirate asks for gold, he will ask for 7 gold bars.
I hope my explanations are clear, it is quite difficult to explain in French, it is even less for me in English
Yep! I heard it was supposed to be easier to trade if you had lower level monuments because the pirate didn't ask for much, but in this case, he is being a bit greedy!Delphine wrote:You mean you have 7/11 gold bars (for the terra monument) and the pirate is asking for 5 of them ?
I think it also has to do with what level the goddess monument is on. In my tests when I had zero of the rarer resources (essence of wind, gold bars, pearl, magma) the pirate asked for 3 at first then he wanted 4. By level 6 he asked for 5 and then I am not sure what level it changed but at level 17 I was asked for 6. The pirate never asked for more than 6 (of the rarer resources). It's harder to figure out for the very common resources because it wasn't until the higher levels of the goddess monument that I had zero but it seemed they were between 15 and 16. For the resources that are not very common but not very rare (bamboo, onyx, bronze) I was asked for 12-14 for them when I had none (again, at the higher levels of the goddess monument).Delphine wrote:You mean you have 7/11 gold bars (for the terra monument) and the pirate is asking for 5 of them ?
I've had 26/28 gold bars yesterday and hé was asking for 7. This morning, I've found the 2 missing gold bars and have upgraded my terra monument. Therefore, i have 0/29 gold bars now. I'm curions to see how many the pirate is goinf to ask for tonight. I'll let you know.

Okay. I did three tests. In two tests I zeroed out everything before trading (simoleons, sp, and all resources) to see if what level the Ancient Goddess monument was on played any role in how many resources were asked for when you had zero.mockingbird288z wrote:I did another test to see what trade offers I would get if I started with 0 of the rare resources. First I used LP to level up all my original monuments and then started trading. First trade - asked for 1 rare resource. Second trade - asked for 2 rare resources. I was asked for 2 rare resources for the next trades as well. Then I got the pop up that I had enough resources to level the goddess monument - but I didn't. I wanted to see if I would keep only getting asked for 2 if I never upgraded the goddess monument. The next trade I was asked for only 2, however. The trade after that I was asked for 3 and the trade after that I was asked for 4. I didn't keep track but eventually and without upgrading the goddess monument at all, I was asked for 5 rare resources.
So instead of what level the goddess monument is on maybe what you are asked to trade (when you are at 0) is tied to how many trades you have done?
